Happy Wednesday.... Valentines in the Presidential Suite is OUT ON AUGUST 25th!

Here is SNEAK PEEK #5!

Ashley took hold of Morgan’s hand and squeezed it. “Your parents will love Morgan. We all do.” “I don’t doubt it at all,” said Brad smoothly, placing an arm around Morgan. “We’ll talk about it another time. I didn’t mean to catch you off guard.”

Morgan forced a smile, but all her insecurities rose to the surface of her mind.

Throughout the meal, she pushed aside her worries as she noticed how well everyone was getting along. And when it came time for each one to tell what made them thankful this year, she was touched when Simon said, “I’m thankful for my friendship with Morgan.” And when Lizzy announced, “I’m thankful Blue lives next door so my parents know what kind of dog I want for Christmas,” Morgan laughed along with everyone else.

Brad’s statement meant the most when he said, “I’m thankful for new beginnings,” and looked right at her.

Morgan simply said, “I’m thankful for all of you.” Alone with him, she’d show Brad how thankful she was for him in her life.

Morgan helped with the cleanup with the others, then said, “Thank you, everyone, for a wonderful day. I’m sorry to end this day with you, but I need to go home to Blue.”

Well Monday is here, and so is another SNEAK PEEK to help you get excited about Valentines in the Presidential Suite!

MORGAN MEETS SIMON 🙋🏼‍♀️

"On this particular Saturday, Morgan carried a book and a container of coffee purchased at the bookstore café into the corner, where she stopped so suddenly that she almost dropped her drink.
A friendly face surrounded by white hair that flopped against the man’s broad forehead looked up in surprise. “Oh, hello. Am I in your chair?”

Morgan hid her disappointment. “That’s all right. I’ll sit in the other one. I’m startled to find you here, that’s all. My name is Morgan. Morgan Riley. I spend most Saturday afternoons here, hidden away reading.”

The man bobbed his head in acknowledgment. His startling blue eyes focused on her. “A kindred soul, I see. I’m Simon Weaver, and I’m new to town. I’ve always loved being surrounded by books, which is why this store was one of the first places I visited here.”

“Welcome to Ellenton. What brings you to town?” she asked as she settled in the remaining overstuffed chair.

“My wife died two years ago. I thought I could manage on my own in our house in Connecticut, but I found it was too much. My grandson talked me into moving into an assisted living facility. I think I’m going to like some aspects of it. Others, not so much.”

Excerpt THREE coming at you this morning!

WHO CAME TO MORGAN'S HOME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?

Morgan was unsure what time it was when she was jarred awake by Caesar’s barking. Heart pounding, she got out of bed and went to see what was troubling him. The apartment was small enough that it took very few steps to reach the kitchen and the entrance. On tiptoes, she faced the door and waited for any noise.

The dog raced to the front door and stood there, sniffing and barking. Silently, Morgan picked up the dog and listened. She heard footsteps descending the stairs. Quietly, she moved to the kitchen window overlooking the drive. Standing away from it, she peered through the glass to see someone running up the driveway toward the street. Mark and Ashley had begun to leave backyard spotlights on, so Morgan was pretty sure the figure was that of a man. Wrapping her arms around herself, she took calming breaths and let them out slowly. Her fingers had gone cold when she went to pick up Caesar’s warm body. “Good dog, Caesar,” she murmured, rocking him in her arms. For whatever reason, someone was after her.

She knew she’d have to do something more than get a dog. Perhaps she should stay somewhere else. She didn’t want to bring any harm to Ashley, Mark, and their kids.
Morgan checked the time. Two o’clock. She went back to bed, but there was no way she could go back to sleep. Caesar finally nestled up against her and softly snored.

Here you go... Excerpt #2!

BRAD AND MORGAN GET... ACQUAINTED 😉

"He got up and pulled her into his arms. “I’ve waited a long time to find someone like you.” Morgan’s heart fluttered and then pounded as heat poured through her at the way he was holding her, tenderly but with purpose. Brad tilted her chin and gazed down at her with such longing she wanted to cry for all that she’d missed with Dale. When Brad’s lips met hers, they were soft but sure. Then, his kiss deepened, creating whirling emotions within her. Morgan clung to him, allowing all her suppressed feelings for him to bloom into something tangible. When he pulled away, she felt bereft and looked up at him, drowning in his blue-eyed gaze that swept over her face with a tenderness she’d never experienced with anyone else. There was vulnerability, too, which made him even more attractive than he already was."

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WILL WARM YOUR HEART EVEN MORE!

Hope you are all getting excited for Valentines in the Presidential Suite! I'm going to start dropping some excerpts so you get a taste of what's coming! Starting with #1 today!

MORGAN GETS HER NEW PUP!

"Following an early lunch in lieu of a late breakfast, Brad pulled up to a small, white clapboard, Cape Cod house with a huge fenced front yard. As they got out of the car, they could hear the excited barks of dogs from inside the house. A woman opened the front door, and eight Dachshunds came bounding into the front yard, barking and wagging their tails with excitement.

Morgan clasped her hands and studied them, wondering which one was Blue. She gazed at the two dapple dogs in the group and caught the eye of one of them. As she reached out to touch him, all eight dogs ran to her for attention. Laughing, she pulled back. The woman walked over to her. “Hi, I’m Mickie Hastings, the owner of the kennel.” “And I’m Morgan Riley,” she said, “and this is Brad Hamlin.” “Oh, yes, Brad. It’s good to see you. How’s little Caesar?” Brad chuckled. “He’s fine, in charge as usual.” Mickie reached over the fence and picked up the dog Morgan had tried to touch.

“This little guy is Blue, aptly named because he’s a blue and cream dapple. He’s the favorite at the moment, but it’s time for him to have a true home of his own.”
Mickie handed the dog to Morgan. Wiggling in her arms, the dog reached up and licked her cheek. Morgan tightened her grip and then lifted him in front of her. They locked gazes again, and it felt to Morgan as if he was saying, “I choose you.” Thrilled, she hugged him. “You’ll find he’s very bright, very stubborn, and full of life. Like all Dachshunds, he’s a bit of a clown and will keep you laughing at some of his antics. You mentioned you have a large yard for him to play in.”

“Yes,” Morgan said. “The house where I live has a big fenced-in yard where he’s welcome to play. Don’t worry, he’ll be very spoiled.”
